Using Jacob Lawrence in Black Migration Lessons

This lesson was very helpful. I was looking for a way to add dimension to my lesson on the Great Black Migration. I did not know about Jacob Lawrence's migration series. Incorporating this into my lesson will allow my students to engage with this topic and time period through art. Thank you!
